It's been many years since we are hearing that Bollywood actor Aamir Khan wants to churn out a mythological tale based on the epic Mahabharat. After a hiatus, we also heard that the perfectionist star has dropped the plan of making the magnum opus for the big screen, but instead will be going the digital and web-series way. It was said that he is planning to make a multi-season franchise of his dream project. Well, now, the latest we read on SpotBoye is that Aamir has shelved his idea of making the film.
